Sam Poiovina Will Lecture A native of Austria tells the truth about that country. Sam Poiovina will make you appreciate as no other speaker has done why America is in this war and why Austria and Germany are inseparably connected in this European holocaust This native of that country, now a naturalized American, tells the unvarnished truth about the cruelties of the dual monarchy. He has tried to enlist in the American army but is barred because of pliysicial disibillties, due to what he suffered as an opponent of that absolute monarchy. He never slept in a bed, never used a knife and fork, never had a full meal except when he attended a funeral, until he came to America. He has lost the sight of one eye through persecution. Ligonier is fortunate in getting this man services as his time is taken up by the government and various organizations for the propagation of patriotism. His escape from Austria to America by way of Servia sounds like a romance of the midd e ages. Where he has spoken once he fills the house to .overflowing on the second visit. The lecture is free but an offering will be received to go to Mr. Poiovina for his services.

Put me down for all the Red Cross shares lying loose and I will work the balance of my life to pay for them.”
